On Quiet

Nikki Gemmell

International bestselling author Nikki Gemmell writes on the power of quiet in today's shouty world.

Quiet comes as a shock in these troubled times.

Quietism means 'devotional contemplation and abandonment of the will . a calm acceptance of things as they are'. Gemmell makes the case for why quiet is steadily gaining ground in this noisy age: Why we need it now more than ever. How to glean quiet, hold on to it, and work within it.

“

Yet I do still wish for more quiet, and I am reassured to find a fellow traveller in Gemmell.”

Nikki Gemmell

Nikki Gemmell is the author of nine novels and four works of non-fiction. Her books have been translated into 22 languages. She is a columnist for The Australian.

Why have we become so noisy? Gemmell puts most blame on the 24/7 media and entertainment revolution and particularly the dig­ital distraction of mobile phones. I agree with her, especially on the impact this is having on younger people, for whom books are artefacts.
